PT4 and Odds Calculator

[flyjosch]

Hi, now I am using the PT3 Software for free. I am thinking to buying the software.

1.) Do you now when the PT4 ist ready to buy. Or is there a free Update possibility from PT3 to PT4.
2.) Is there a Odds Calculator? Pod Odds Statistic?

Thanks Jan

Jan - If you purchase PokerTracker 3 today, you will get a fre upgrade to PT4 when it is released. Yes, an odds calculator and pot odds statistics are built in - you can see how they work in these pre-release videos which are available here: http://preview.pokertracker.com/pt4-videos

But can the pot odds be displayed in the current hand like HEM already does (using OCR)? If PT4 won't have a reverse HUD and live stats such as pot odds, then I'll probably make the switch to HEM2.

Does anybody know of a simple real-time pot odds calculator that I can use with PartyPoker? For example, does anybody have a working copy of PotOddsHUD NG?

No, it can't. Maintaining something like that for every site is a huge task as it would have to be updated when any site changed, and we prefer not to add features specific to one site or another - we'd rather devote our resources to features which help all of our users. As you say, there are third party applications for this kind of thing too.

(using OCR)

Also I would like to note that PokerTracker does not develop using OCR. OCR breaks as soon as tables are tiled or even overlapped in any way, since we develop for a multitude of workflows equally we have determined that the use of OCR would cause more problems than OCR would solve - imagine missing part of a hand in your database, that is why an OCR solution isn't viable. This is also why OCR has been a source of complaints for users of our competitor's applications.
